It was a Friday night and very crowded. But the wait was only about a half an hour. The staff was very friendly. The atmosphere is welcoming and fun. The pizza was delicious! The pasta was amazing. The spinach artichoke dip super yummy! Staff was attentive and always available. Definitely recommend!!!!

I'm giving this a four star reservation just due to the food being okay. I ordered the primavera pasta and a side salad. Personally, I wasn't overly impressed with the flavor and didn't care to finish my meal. It was a pricey dinner that I didn't care for. My husband ordered the fried chicken special and he enjoyed his meal. Service and ambience was nice.

This is the third visit I've made to The Local House. This place never disappoints. The portions, the price along with a great atmosphere, it really is one of the best restaurants in town. Bailey was super pleasant and very natural with her customer service. Keep up the good work.

Loved the atmosphere of the restaurant. Very clean and bright inside. The staff is very friendly and professional. Huge menu of items to choose from. It was busy for lunch while we were there, so food took a while to show up, but service was great. The food tasted awesome.

For a Friday evening, seating was quick, even with a kinda packed parking lot. Service was amazing. Our server Krysta was on point and never had to ask her for anything. She just knew. The food was amazing too. I got the Fried pickle burger and it did not disappoint. My 4 stars, instead of 5…a mixed drink costing $10 is kinda insane to me, considering I know that bottom shelf liquor is used. I don’t care if you dress up a sangria with a whole cinnamon stick (way too much cinnamon, by the way) and a fresh flower. That’s ridiculous. I went with my twin friends for their bday. I had 2 beers that cost $7 for both. I paid for my friend’s mixed drinks, one each, and those 2 drinks were $20. Bottom shelf liquor is not that expensive. Stop robbing ppl. The food isn’t that expensive, but not cheap either. So I’m sure it offsets your bottom shelf liquor for mixed drinks costs.

I tried the new location for the first time it's a good size space. The menus are clear. The pricing is okay. My food was good. It's a bit loud in there and it wasn't packed for lunch so I could just imagine if it was more crowded how loud it would be. Some people don't like that. It's hard to have a conversation when it's really loud. Overall it was good
